参议员科里·布克的共和党参议院挑战者在两人最近的辩论中，就伊朗战争向唐纳德·特朗普总统传达了一个直截了当的信息：“结束它。”这一建议在周四的论坛上引来了掌声——也让布克发出了一声“哇”，随后他抨击前塔伯内克尔副市长贾斯汀·墨菲的言论，称这是那种把美国拖入中东昂贵战争的“鲁莽”外交政策。
Sen. Cory Booker’s Republican Senate challenger had a blunt message for President Donald Trump about the war in Iran during the pair’s recent debate: " Finish it." The advice drew applause during Thursday's forum — and a " Wow" from Booker, who then blasted former Tabernacle Deputy Mayor Justin Murphy's remarks as the kind of " Yahoo" foreign policy that has dragged the United States into costly wars in the Middle East.
新泽西州是一个蓝州，但近年来趋势变得更红，唐纳德·特朗普总统在2024年翻转了关键地区。然而，1972年是共和党最后一次在该州赢得美国参议院选举，当时参议员克利福德·凯斯连任成功。参议员尼克·布雷迪在1982年和杰夫·基耶萨在2013年后来曾短暂担任委任职务。
New Jersey is a blue state that has trended redder in recent years, with President Donald Trump flipping key areas in 2024. However, 1972 was the last time a Republican won a U.S. Senate election in the state, when Sen. Clifford Case was re-elected. Sens. Nick Brady in 1982 and Jeff Chiesa in 2013 later served brief, appointed terms.
来自松林荒原的律师墨菲，因其对伊朗问题的回答而赢得热烈掌声。当时主持人问他，如果总统打电话向他寻求关于冲突的建议，他会对特朗普说什么。
Murphy, an attorney from the Pine Barrens, earned loud applause for his response to a question about Iran when asked what he would tell Trump if the president called him for advice on the conflict.
“以积极的方式结束那场战争，”墨菲坚定地回答。“我们不能等到进行到一半时决定不想干了。伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队是一个激进恐怖组织，它剥夺了伊朗人民、波斯人民的历史和体面的生活。” “完成这该死的工作”：哈格蒂在《无情播客》中表示特朗普将完成伊朗任务。这一交锋凸显了两位候选人对冲突截然不同的应对方式，墨菲为特朗普的军事行动辩护，而布克则警告不要再陷入另一场美国在中东的长期战争。
"Finish that war in a positive manner," Murphy replied firmly. "We can't wait halfway through and decide we don't want to do this anymore. The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is a radical terrorist organization that has deprived the Iranian people, the Persian people, of their history and of a decent life." ‘FINISH THE DAMN JOB’: HAGERTY TELLS 'RUTHLESS PODCAST' THAT TRUMP WILL COMPLETE IRAN MISSION The exchange highlighted the candidates' opposing approaches to the conflict, with Murphy defending Trump's military campaign and Booker warning against another prolonged American war in the Middle East.
随着墨菲继续发言，广播的分屏画面显示，布克短暂地低头摇了摇头，随后在墨菲剩余发言期间噘着嘴，一度还扬了扬眉毛。
As Murphy continued, the broadcast's split-screen showed Booker briefly looking down and shaking his head before pursing his lips for the rest of Murphy’s response and raising his eyebrows at one point.
“立法者的震惊表情和其他病毒式传播时刻，为政治阶层的糟糕一周画上句号” “四十年够了。伊朗人民受苦够了，”墨菲开始总结道。
LAWMAKER’S STUNNED FACE AND OTHER VIRAL MOMENTS CAP ROUGH WEEK FOR POLITICAL CLASS "Four decades is enough. The Iranian people have suffered enough," Murphy began to conclude.
“我会说，‘总统先生，戴上你的牛仔帽，出去干点事，把这件事做好，做对’，”墨菲说。
"And I would say, ‘Mr. President, put your cowboy hat on and get out there and kick some a--, and get this done and done right’," Murphy said.
“哇，” �克尔嘴型地说出这个词，当时主持人大卫·怀尔德斯坦向民主党人示意，并说看来他想作出回应。
"Wow," Booker mouthed as moderator David Wildstein gestured toward the Democrat and said it appeared he wanted to respond.
布克尔抨击特朗普的伊朗协议是“彻底的投降”，称他为“最大的失败者”，脸上挂着蛋 “老实说，” 布克尔开始说。“这就是那种‘雅虎’式的外交政策，让我们一次次陷入中东战争——那些自夸其勇的领导人说我们只需进去干一番。你知道这对我们国家的财政造成了什么影响吗？” 布克尔回答道。
BOOKER SLAMS TRUMP’S IRAN DEAL AS AN 'ABJECT SURRENDER,' LABELS HIM THE 'BIGGEST LOSER' WITH 'EGG ON HIS FACE' "Honestly," Booker began. "This is the kind of ‘Yahoo’ foreign policy that has mired us in Middle East war after Middle East war -- with false bravado leaders saying we're just going to go in there and kick ass. Well, you know what that's done to the treasury of our country?" Booker replied.
当被问及与墨菲相同的问题时，布克尔开玩笑说，怀尔德斯坦是在问他关于“一个打电话给我寻求建议的人，他 literally 说过‘我知道比我的将军们更多’”。但前纽瓦克市长 entertain 了这个假设，说他和新泽西州的其他人多年来一直认识特朗普，因为他“让我们的赌场破产了”——指的是特朗普以前的大西洋城赌场业务。
When asked the same question as Murphy, Booker joked that Wildstein was asking him about "a guy calling me for advice who has literally said ‘I know more than my generals’." But the former Newark mayor entertained the hypothetical, saying he and the rest of New Jersey have known Trump for years because he "bankrupted our casinos" — referring to the president’s former Atlantic City casino businesses.
他指责特朗普经常忽视建议，声称顾问们不得不“摇晃钥匙”来让他在关于布克尔和纽约州参议员查克·舒默（D-N.Y.）领导的哈德逊河隧道项目会议上保持在主题上。
He accused Trump of frequently ignoring advice, claiming advisers had to "jangle keys" to keep him on topic during a meeting about the trans-Hudson rail tunnel project spearheaded by Booker and Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y.
报名获取政治新闻简报墨菲还因他在辩论期间关于非法移民的言论而受到关注。他回忆说，他在新泽西州华盛顿离开一个竞选活动后，望向一处住宅，据称在那里，一个孩子被危地马拉非法移民莱斯特·诺埃·佩雷斯-阿马多尔绑架并强奸——据WRNJ报道，拜登政府之前曾在得克萨斯州一个县通知ICE说他们已经将其拘留后将其释放。
SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER Murphy also received attention for his comments during the debate on illegal immigration. He recounted leaving a campaign event in Washington, N.J., and looking across at a home where a child was allegedly abducted and raped by Guatemalan illegal immigrant Lester Noe Perez-Amador — whom the Biden administration previously released after a Texas county notified ICE that it had taken him into custody, according to WRNJ.
除了让一名竞选长期由民主党占据的蓝色选区的共和党人进入社交媒体的视线之外，关于伊朗的交锋凸显了在特朗普的军事行动及其应如何结束的问题上，两党之间以及共和党内部存在的深刻分歧。
Besides putting a Republican running for a long-held blue seat on the social media radar, the exchange over Iran underscored sharp divisions across party lines and within the Republican Party over Trump’s military campaign and how it should end.
